I have the strangest problem. I captured some interlaced PAL video off television with my Hauppauge WinTV. I encoded it with TMPGenc and burned it to a DVD-R, but it came out quite jerky when played back on TV, buy not on my PC. It sort of looks like the fields are wrong, but not all the time, certainly not every frame, it looks like it might be every 5th frame or so.

As a test, I then ripped a bit of video off a commercial DVD (interlaced PAL too) and burned it, and I got the same jerky problem, but the original commercial DVD played just fine, so something must be going wrong in the authoring process.

I am using Sonic ReelDVD, and I play the DVDs on a region-free Sony DVD player. I am just wondering if I have to do something special to make it realise that it has to switch to PAL, or anything like that?

Any help or input would be very, very appreciated.
